The Dynamic Recursive Context for Finite State Machines (DRFSM) is a new form of DEDS which is specifically adapted to representing multi-level recursive processes. Multi-level processes are any tasks which are done repetitively with different parameters.
In our problem domain of machined parts, we can use DRFSM to exploit the recursive nature of many machined parts. Many machined features have similar exploration strategies. By using the same strategy for different features within a complicated part, we can reduce the number of control states needed to explore it to a manageable amount.
